About:
Rossana Jeran AKA Blurgirl is an award-winning Writer, Director, Producer, Media Artist and VJ. Her body of work includes short and feature films, as well as music videos, video landscapes, commercials and multi-media projects.
Her work has screened across the United States and abroad and has been featured at the Independent Feature Film Market, Newfilmmakers/NYC, Gen Art, Deep Ellum, Chicago Art Institute, Independent Exposure, The Kansas City Filmmakers Jubilee, the 11th Annual Experimental Film Festival in Sydney, Australia, DJ Central, a global EDM program, the Sagamore Hotel in Miami Beach and the Yucca Valley Performing Arts Center.

She also directed and produced a web series entitled, COFFEE IS FOR CLOSERS, starring late, screen legend, Karen Black (Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces) and helmed two features: GODHEAD (2006), which she also co-wrote, and TRIPTYCH (2008), both available to stream from Amazon.com.
As a media artist walking her own spiritual and meditative path, Jeran's work explores the light-to-dark spectrum of the human experience with grit and grace. Behind seemingly beautiful imagery often lies hidden subtext or metaphor, luring the imagination beyond the comfortable, beyond the known.
After many years of creating in the 2D environment, Jeran has begun working with virtual reality and full immersion projects to continue her mission to entertain and enlighten global audiences with media and meditation.
